Highest IQ Score
If you want to know the record holder for the highest IQ in the world, then you're in the right place. Although many people think it's Steven Hawking with an IQ of slightly over 200, or Marilyn vos Savant with and IQ of 228. We want to mention that results of IQs can vary from test to test and by age. For example an IQ of 170 at the age of 10 years old is the equivalent of an adult IQ of only 106. The other problem is that there is no set way to measure intelligence as there are too many aspects to take into account (memory, problem-solving, etc.), so don't put too much faith in your IQ rating.
The highest IQ ever to be scored in the advanced IQ test was by Abdesselam Jelloul. Who scored an adult IQ of 198 in a 2012 test which included 13 dimensions of intelligence (analytical, spatial, logical, memory, musical, linguistic, philosophical, moral, spiritual, interpersonal, intra-personal, bodily and naturalist). Unlike other tests, the advanced IQ test includes more measures that other tests cannot assess.
Did you know that Guinness retired the category of "Highest IQ" in 1990, after concluding that IQ tests are not reliable enough to designate a single world record holder? So do not expect to find any reliable information about the highest IQ.
